[FIXED] Maven Apache - Terminal error [cannot access class com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment]

Issue

I'm debugging a code not mine, as the first compilation with Maven Apache I get this error. Has anyone managed to fix it? I assume there is a compactability problem in the pom file.

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.5.1:compile (default-compile) on project mysalepro-common: Fatal error compiling: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class lombok.javac.apt.LombokProcessor (in unnamed module @0x3cd95b79) cannot access class com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment (in module jdk.compiler) because module jdk.compiler does not export com.sun.tools.javac.processing to unnamed module @0x3cd95b79 -> [Help 1]

Solution

Change maven version

<properties>
 <maven.compiler.source>your version</maven.compiler.source>
 <maven.compiler.target>your version</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>

if error still persists change the version of Lombok. Link Lombok version for the latest Lombok version
